The Foodie Project @ Mae Fah Luang Chiang Rai International Airport

Located on the second floor of Mae Fah Luang – Chiang Rai International Airport, The Foodie Project is a food court and cafe offering travellers a convenient spot to eat before departure, with views of the runway adding a pleasant backdrop to the meal. The space is noted for its cosy atmosphere and varied seating options, making it a comfortable place to settle in and wait for a flight. The menu leans into northern Thai cuisine, and visitors have highlighted the Khao Soi as a standout dish — no small praise in a region famous for it. Local food options are available at prices typical of airport dining, with most dishes starting from around 100 baht. The atmosphere is generally quiet, and staff are reported to be friendly. A few practical points are worth noting before visiting. Prices are higher than what travellers will find in Chiang Rai city, which is standard for airport dining. Some visitors have flagged the payment system as inconvenient and noted that ice and glassware for drinks may carry an additional charge, so it is worth clarifying costs before ordering. As opening hours are not publicly listed, travellers should factor in airport operating schedules when planning a meal here.
